A Super El Nino is expected to have significant health implications for India, with doctors warning of increased heat-related illnesses, respiratory issues, and dehydration. The World Meteorological Organization has linked strong El Nino events to higher global temperatures and increased frequency of extreme weather events. In India, this can mean prolonged heatwaves, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, and flooding. Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses, are particularly at risk. Doctors expect a rise in heat exhaustion and heat stroke, especially among outdoor workers and people with chronic conditions. High temperatures will also worsen air pollution, triggering asthma and other respiratory problems.
